In short

CurlShot is a screenshot API: send a URL, HTML or Markdown in one HTTP request and get back a PNG, JPEG, WebP, PDF or scrolling video.

About CurlShot

CurlShot is a screenshot API for developers. One HTTP request turns a URL, HTML or Markdown into a PNG, JPEG, WebP, PDF or a scrolling video (MP4, WebM, GIF). Pages render in a real browser. Lazy images are loaded on the way down, and ads, trackers, chat bubbles and cookie banners can be removed before the capture. Pick a phone, tablet or desktop preset, capture one element with a CSS selector, or put the whole page on one PDF sheet. It works from any language, with no SDK. There’s a free plan with 100 screenshots a month and no card. Paid plans have a fixed monthly price.

What problem does it solve?

Taking screenshots of web pages in production means running and maintaining headless browsers: cookie banners, lazy images, timeouts, memory and queues. CurlShot runs that part and returns the image, PDF or video from one HTTP request.

What you can do with it

Capture full-page or device-sized screenshots of a URL; render your own HTML or Markdown to an image or PDF; generate Open Graph images and link previews; archive pages as PDF; record a scrolling video of a page; let AI agents see web pages through the MCP server.

Not designed for

It is not a web scraper or data extractor, and it does not capture private or local network addresses (send the HTML instead). Pages behind a login need cookies or headers sent with the request.
